Introspection is the self-observation and reporting of conscious inner thoughts, desires and sensations. It is a conscious mental and usually purposive process relying on thinking, reasoning, and examining one's own thoughts, feelings, and, in more spiritual cases, one's soul. It can also be called contemplation of one's self, and is contrasted with extrospection, the observation of things external to one's self. Introspection may be used synonymously with self-reflection and used in a similar way. (Wikipedia)

We are teachers spending the month of July, 2009 in the EDAP 688 class "Developing a Technology Rich Curriculum" offered through the University of Louisville's College of Education and Human Development. Our purpose is to explore the UbD framework and learn of its implications for our students while creating a technology rich unit of studies. One class expectation is to reflect on our experiences throughout the course. Specifically, we will reflect on our class discussions focused on the daily essential questions and on the lessons and unit that we create.

The discussion reflections will focus on answering the questions:

Did my views change as a result of the class discussion? If yes, explain how.
If I still hold the same belief as before the discussion, did any other viewpoints confirm your decision?
Were any viewpoints brought up that I hadn't considered before? If yes, what were they?
